PUTNEY CRICKET CLUB – 2011 SEASONA good year for membership, up to 69 playing and 3 non-playing members, as opposed to 57 playing and2 non-playing in 2010. There were 12 games cancelled in 2011, mainly due to the weather. Availabilitywas not an issue and that is very pleasing.The bar is an area of concern. The percentage profit has fallen over the past three years. 2011 saw thebiggest drop to 27%. (2010 = 36%, 2009 = 39%). It is evident that either drinks are not being paid for orsadly money is being taken from the till. The club relies on a healthy profit from the bar, we should bestriving for 40%. This downward trend has got to stop !! As I say every year, we rely on members honesty,and I quote the yearly reminder, “only players nominated by the captain are to go behind the bar, and Iwould ask all to be vigilant.”My thanks go to Ben Brook and Trevor Ashworth for organising the presentation evening. Althoughnumbers were down on last year, we made a healthy profit. Thank you to those that donated items for theauction and donations to the club. My thanks also to each member who contributed towards the raffle andto the highest bidders at the auction. It is the injection of money at the presentation evening that keepsour yearly membership at its current level, and is the major factor in a healthy bank balance.We have a stock of club shirts, caps, hats and sweat bands at the club. Please let your captain know ifyou would like to purchase any of these items. There is of course the new on-line facility, but it would benice to clear the existing stock.Expenditure: There were no real surprises, but I will highlight the areas with the largest differentials. Theground account will fluctuate from year to year, depending on what parts need to be replaced on themachines and how our stock of top soil and seed are. We also have the additional outfield cutter toservice. A fertiliser spreader and sprinkler were purchased. Due to the spiralling costs of the refusecollections, I have given notice to terminate the contract. As this goes to print I am arranging for anotherbody to collect our waste.The playing equipment included the new boundary rope reel, £420.00, replacement of the netting,£280.80 and additional cricket balls £200.00.Sundries included the damage to the motor vehicle around the ground, £70.00, a £100.00 donation toHampton Hill Cricket Club who lost their clubhouse due to a fire, padlocks/chain and ties for the net,£95.26 and gas, £29.99.I again ask members to settle their annual membership of £80.00 at the earliest opportunity. Pleaseensure you bring sufficient monies on the day of a game to cover match fees and I do not want to see anyI.O.U’s behind the bar !!Any suggestions for raising club funds through social events or other means are always welcome. Have agood season, and spend plenty of money in the clubhouse.Mike CurtisTreasurer THE EVE AND STAN MARSHALL 100 CLUBThe Eve and Stan Marshall 100 Club provides a useful contribution to club funds, and all playingmembers are encouraged to join. The money from these draws usually goes towards the little things thatmake the club a bit nicer. Contact Ash Baptista if you are not already a member (or if you would like anadditional number).Ash Baptista Page 7

PUTNEY CRICKET CLUB – 2011 SEASON ST SATURDAY 1 XI REPORTPlayed 31 Won 16 Drawn 4 Lost 7 Abandoned 4The Saturday 1st XI went into the 2011 season full of anticipation following the previous years successfulcampaign and the move over to the Fullers league.The season started well with good wins away at Woodmansterne (in the cup) and Effingham (in theleague) and despite a close defeat against Long Ditton, after 5 league games Putney were in a strongposition having won 4 and lost 1. Unfortunately Putneys chance of promotion were dealt a huge blow asthey lost 2 of the next 3 games to Merstham and Deando Ruxley where the soft under belly of our battingorder was exposed as we were bowled out for 116 and 88 respectively. From here on in, despite winningthe next 5 games to stay in contention, promotion was always going to be difficult and when 2 successivegames were rained off Putney finally fell away and had to settle for a 6th place finish.Although there was no doubt that we had gone into the season with higher expectations, this was still acredible performance in a new league, with new rules and a higher standard of play than the previousyear.Meanwhile, as the league was coming to a disappointing end the 1s were putting together a superb cuprun. Having beaten Woodmansterne early in the season we welcomed Hampton Wick Royal, who wereflying high 2nd in the division above us. Chasing 236 in 45 overs we were ultimately helped by mid inningrain which reduced our target to 158 in 30 overs. Middleton, Singh and Ratnayake smashed the ball to allparts and with 8 overs remaining the shell shocked opposition were trudging off, beaten by 7 wickets. Inthe 3rd round we faced a tricky match away against Tenisonian Corinthians. Batting first on a hot Augustafternoon we made a good 206 from our 45 overs thanks to an excellent 70 from Mark Edwards. In replyCorinthians struggled against a high high quality triumvirate of seam bowling from Middleton, Peters andMcCann and ultimately finished along way off the pace at 136 all out.The semi final saw Putney take on Sanderstead, the leaders of the top division who had a 100% recordso far in 2011. Putney were rightly labelled massive underdogs and at 95-9 batting first, it looked like itwas one step too far for us. However McCann and Peters J added a crucial 50 for the last wicket andgave us a chance if we could bowl and field at our best. When Middleton had reduced Sanderstead to 1-3it was suddenly game on and wickets continued to fall as Putneys seamers bowled beautifully and werebacked up by some inspired catching and ground fielding. In the end Sanderstead were bowled out for127 and Putney had pulled off one of the best victories of their recent history.Unfortunately we werent able to carry this level through to the Final where we faced a strong Old Paulineteam also from the division above. On the day things went against us and we didnt play our best whichled to a disappointingly one sided match where Putney lost by 99 runs. Despite this, nothing should betaken away for the performances that led to the final which emphasised the great team spirit and talentthe team has.All in all it was a case of that might have been for Putney this season, missing out promotion and losing ina final. However the experience in the new league will be crucial in 2012, and we have a great chance ofsuccess. With the 2012 cup final to be played at the Oval, a success run in the cup would be extremelyrewarding.Gareth Hughes stSaturday 1 XI Captain Page 8

PUTNEY CRICKET CLUB – 2011 SEASON ND SATURDAY 2 XI REPORTPlayed 20 Won 10 Drawn 3 Lost 5 Abandoned 3Putney 2s had, in the final reckoning, a successful season. We won ten and lost five with only two drawsand three abandoned, despite the challenge of new leagues format. In fact, we were in close contentionfor promotion in the league throughout the season, needing only to win our last two games to go up. Welost both and finished a mere sixth. In fact, we lost four of our last six games and suffered also twoabandonments against teams we fancied beating. So, it was a effectively a season of two halves. Whatcould explain our change of fortunes?Early games were bright affairs as we piled up scores over 275 against Yarl, Hampstead and Worplesdonas our batsmen scored freely, especially Mark Wibberley, Matt Atkins and Carlo Pelser who all scoredtons, Carlo twice. Mark and Carlo scored tons in the same innings against Hampstead, surely a first forthe club. We declared before the end of our limited number of overs, Hampstead bowlers had sufferedenough. We bowled Worplesdon out in the the penultimate over, alieving fears that wed batted on toolong.We also benefitted from finding (and retaining!) three key players: Lincoln Grice, Murad Malik and DavidJones. They bowled tight lines throughout and gave the skipper a lot of control in each game and plentyof wickets. Brian McMillan (17 @ 14) bowled tightly, though was underbowled. They were well supportedby Rodney Sellick (12 @ 27), Ben Brook (11 @ 30) who each came up with important five wicket hauls inthe season. Lincoln took 6-30 at Weybridge (22 at 13 overall) and another explosive innings fromWibbers sent us on our way to victory. Tony Fenton reminded us that if youre good enough youre youngenough (13 @ 14). David and Murad were also fine batters. David scored over 200 runs for only four outsand won a game with Chip in which both scored 80s. Murad always scored freely, 257 runs at 37.The most exciting game was versus local rivals Roehampton. Chasing 214, acheived despite a fine butunrewarded spell from David Jones and a Brooks five for, we were behind the game until Stuart Gillies(74) strode forth. He crunched plenty through the legside, even clanking a short lived short leg on thehead, the bull still spinning away one bounce for four. Thank god for helmets. We finished 8 down and 8short of victory.Our victory against Croydon Metropolitan Officers, in a Ramadan affected game, was also striking as afasting Murad (103) and Trevor Ashworth (82, making no such concessions) put on 160 odd in 19 oversto help us chase down 229 on an appalling pitch on a picturesque National Trust playing field. I had notbeen comforted when the opposing skipper explained that the black patches on the strip were merelyburnt grass and would I want to play on the untended strip used two weeks previously!But that game perhaps was the peak for the season. Having rehabilitated distressed first teamers andnursed them back to form, having identified and developed emerging talent, both traditional second teamroles, we started losing players to the Ones. Others, oddly, preferred to holiday in the sun rather than playfor PCC and we started to lose a bit of quality, depth and control. Murad, who was so consistent earlier inthe season, lost the knack of taking wickets (but did take a fine 6-44 in the Ones). Lincoln went on awalkabout within his two year UK walkabout. Also a special mention to Mark Wibberly who scored 300runs in only six innings. We all knew he could score quickly and he did so again this year for the Twosbut now with an added steeliness and hunger for bigger scores. He fully earned his promo. Matt Atkinsfully deserved batter of the year for his five hundred flamboyant runs. I suspect theres more left in thetank for next year and I thank him for his sound advice as my vice skipper.All in all, a fine and enjoyable season played in a good spirit. We went out with eleven players each game,no silly cry offs, only the odd late arrival and so logistical problems were minimal! What would I changefor next year? Not much. Generally, we are what we are as players and we cant really make stepchanges in how we bat and bowl in the game (though Wibbers did this year, I think). But we can fieldbetter. Imagine if we dropped only two catches a game instead of four! What can you do to bring thatabout? We need more focus in the field and a bit more training. And, I suspect, we could all lose a stoneand raise our fitness. Something to ponder over the New Year!Douglas Shaw ndSaturday 2 Captain Page 9

PUTNEY CRICKET CLUB – 2011 SEASON SUNDAY XI REPORTThe 2011 Sunday 1 season was challenging and eventful!On the field we achieved good success by winning 7 (44%) of the 16 games played with 4 games beingabandoned. The club also saw an increase in new players on Sunday contributing to an increase insubscriptions whilst acting a pipeline for the Saturday league teams.As in previous years, challenges faced in 2011 included unbalanced fixtures, lack of player continuity andthe need to balance the Sunday teams.The three most memorable matches were :Sutton (home - loss) where, having been bowled out for 109 runs we almost pulled off a remarkablevictory thanks Dez Telfer’s heroic bowling.Long Ditton (away -win) where Charlie Smulian swing (& full tosses) and Usman Amins fielding defeateda Long Ditton Saturday league team.Dulwich (home - win) where Trevor Ashworth scored an unbeaten 50 guiding us to victory againstunarguably the strongest Sunday team.New talents to emerge in 2011 include Max Taylor, Usman Amin, Sam Nicols, Redowan Chowdhary,Dylan Ramsey, Hugo Flower, Raghu Reddy and Shiv Hutton.Club regulars who contributed significantly in 2011 include Trevor Ashworth, Charlie Smulian, MaxSugden, Dan Parmar, Barry Perrinparaja, Devon Ebersohn, Vik Sehgal, Sam Sud and Dave Haddaway.I would like to thank Simon Thwaites, my vice captain and Jon White, the Sunday 2’s captain for filling induring my absence this season. In 2012, I will be stepping down from the captaincy due to overseas workcommitments but will continue to support the club on and off the field.Ash BaptistaSunday XI Captain Page 10

PUTNEY CRICKET CLUB – 2011 SEASON nd SUNDAY 2 XI REPORTThe Sunday seconds this year, as with our other teams, had a rain affected season. There were 19fixtures in all, although 4 were cancelled or abandoned leaving a record of 15 played, 9 won and 6 lost. Abig thank you goes out to Tony Fenton for organising some great fixtures with a variety of goodcompetitive sides.The strategy across the Sunday teams this year was to mix players around and put out two equally strongteams together wherever possible which paid dividends in that younger and newer players were given theopportunity to both develop as well as play at a more competitive level. Ash Baptista was instrumental inputting this set-up in place which proved a good across both teams.I was strongly supported by VCRichard Wilson who stood in for me on several occasions, was a great motivational force to have on theside setting a great example and once again proved himself to be one of the stronger Sunday batsmenpushing for a Saturday team place with an extremely creditable batting average of 37.5. Rich wasawarded the Eve and Stan Marshall Trophy for batting, retaining it for the second year running.Max Sugden played a central role in the majority of games in which he played, opening with Rich Wilson.He proved to be an all-round game changer and in any situation or condition he quickly formedpartnerships with whomever was at the crease. His average was a strong 27 across the season and ithas been particularly pleasing to see a junior club member rising over the last few seasons to become akey regular member of the club teams. His fielding stats spoke for themselves – always completelycommitted, he took 13 catches across the season which placed him second in the fielding tables and hewas awarded the Pat and John Greenslade Trophy for his fielding with the Sunday 1st XI.Trevor Ashworth played a number of games for us this season and scored several match-winning half-centuries and was 100% committed in the field. I’ve gained a lot personally from being on the same pitchas Trev, a good tactician, a great team player and someone who will be sorely missed by the club. Theteam wishes him all the best with fatherhood and his new life in Canada.We had a strong bowling line-upand it’s difficult to single individual players out, although Khawar Shafi was an invaluable addition to ourteam. Unfortunately weren’t made aware that he was a bowler until about 5 games into the season, butonce he took hold of the ball, there was no turning back! He took 9 wickets at an average of 15.43 at aneconomy of 3.86 with best figures of 2/5 made all the more astonishing by the fact that his 2011 seasonwith Putney was the first experience he had of playing in a team using a real cricket ball…….up untiljoining us, Shafi had only played with a taped tennis ball. In recognition of this (he also proved to be asolid top order batsman with strong fielding skills), Shafi was awarded the Newcomer of the Year and welook forward to his unique combination of medium pace swing/seam next year.Ben Fifield was strong and committed in every game he played, taking 11 wickets at an average of 17with an economy of 5 and best figures of 3/12. Ben’s sense of humour was a real asset to the team,especially on the several occasions that we found ourselves playing strong opposition in horizontal rain!Charlie Smulian cemented his place as a key club member playing both days most weekends. He took30 wickets across the season at an average of 25 and an economy of 4.65. Special thanks go to Charliefor organising numerous net sessions, and it was a joy to see him on several occasions walk out onto thepitch at the bottom of the order with what looked like an insurmountable number of runs to win, only forhim to blast us to victory with his Mongoose bat. In recognition of Charlie’s commitment on and off thefield, he was awarded the Chandra Sud Trophy for Player of the Year as well as the Claude Ford Trophyfor bowling.Old-hand Chris Henson underpinned our bowling attack along with Stephen Wilcock. Whilst Chris wouldsteam in hungover, time and time again, Willo was our quiet contemplative attack man. Chris wasawarded our unofficial “Black Belt for bowling whilst still drunk from the night before award”, taking 15wickets across the season at an average of 19.53 and an economy of 4.12. He was narrowly pipped tothe post for the Amir Rahemtulla Trophy for bowling by Stephen who took 17 wickets at an average of11.35 and an economy of 3.78 and best figures of 3/12. He was Putney CCs 3rd best bowler in theoverall stats.One of our real finds this year was Muhammad Usman Amin, who bowling vicious leggies, took 20wickets across the season. It was in the field that Usman really proved to be a match-winner taking 10often spectacular catches which meant that he won the Brian Brough Trophy for fielding.I thoroughly enjoyed Captaining the side this year and whilst we’ve been able to honour a number ofplayers for their exceptional efforts, thanks goes out to everyone who played in the team throughout theseason, helping us win more than we lost as well as creating a good spirit within the team. It was a great Page 11
